Faced with Deputy Commander Han's question, He Qingxiao looked calm: "Deputy Commander Han really wants to embarrass Qingsong Bookstore?"
Deputy Commander Han's expression changed slightly, and his tone revealed a warning: "Did Mr. He stretch his hand too far?"
"Can you stretch your hand long?" He Qingxiao whispered and stretched out his hand.
It was a very young hand, slender and white, with well-defined joints, but there was a callus on the tiger's mouth caused by holding the knife for a long time.
He Qingxiao looked at Deputy Commander Han and smiled, his voice lowered: "Does Deputy Commander Han not understand, or has he forgotten? Jin Linwei's hand is very long."
"You——" Deputy Commander Han suddenly gasped, grinning in pain, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Deputy Commander Han's embarrassment made He Qingxiao become more and more calm: "Deputy Commander Han also heard what everyone said just now. "Painted Skin" is not a demon book. There is no reason for your military and horse department to bring people to hand over the book. If Deputy Commander Han doesn't want to end up with someone else, You have a bad reputation for oppressing the people, so don’t waste your time here and go back to heal your foot injury as soon as possible.”
Speaking of this, He Qingxiao glanced at Deputy Commander Han's injured foot: "Deputy Commander Han's injury is not serious. If it is delayed for a long time, it will not be good if he becomes disabled."
Deputy Commander Han clenched his fists hard and gritted his teeth: "Let's go!"
The man who had been supporting him hurriedly moved his hand up, but he yelled: "Idiot, you don't know why you are carrying me!"
The subordinates who were scolded did not dare to say a word. They leaned over and carried Deputy Commander Han on his back, and then took two steps towards the direction of the Soldiers and Horses Division before being scolded again.
"Idiot, go to the hospital first!"
A group of officers headed to the hospital amidst Deputy Commander Han's curses, leaving the officer who had caused the trouble kneeling on the ground with a confused expression on his face until everyone's eyes turned to him, and he quickly got up and ran away.
The people who were watching the excitement looked at this scene and felt inexplicably happy.
Hehe, he has always shown off his power in front of them, but he has never seen him look so unlucky.
He Qingxiao ordered his men: "Move the board back to the printing shop, be careful not to bump it."
Shopkeeper Hu on the side said hurriedly: "No, no, we can do it ourselves."
Manager Zhao hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing so stupidly? Move our book boards back!"
So the craftsmen and Jin Linwei carefully picked up the book boards that had fallen on the ground.
"Master He, come in and have a cup of tea." Xin You invited.
He Qingxiao followed Xin You into the bookstore and into the guest room.
The fragrance of tea lingered, and the person sitting opposite him became the familiar look that Xin You usually had.
"Thank you for today, Mr. He."
It was an unexpected surprise to be able to save the "Painted Skin" book board.
Speaking of which, Master He has helped her many times, but she has not repaid him yet.
"Master He, are you busy today?"
He Qingxiao asked with eyes wide open.
"Master He, if you have time, I will invite you to have dinner at Fengweilou."
Fengweilou is one of the best restaurants in Beijing, with impeccable taste. The only drawback is that it is expensive.
He Qingxiao...of course I haven't been there.
"You're welcome, Miss Kou."
"Master He, please let me express my gratitude, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
He Qingxiao hesitated for a moment, a little worried that going to a restaurant to eat together would be bad for Miss Kou, but those sincere and magnanimous eyes still made him nod: "That would be disrespectful."
Seeing He Qingxiao's agreement, Xin You curled her lips and smiled, and asked about Deputy Commander Han: "Does Master He know the origin of Deputy Commander Han?"
Thanks to his status as the governor of Jinlin Guard Town, a deputy commander of the Military and Horse Division may seem inconspicuous among hundreds of officials, but He Qingxiao knew it clearly: "Deputy Commander Han's name is Han Dongming. He has an ordinary background, but he His wife is Gu Changbo’s clan niece.”
Gu Chang Bo - Xin You murmured these three words in her heart, and what appeared in her mind was the picture of the beauty in palace clothes being furious.
Gu Changbo's clan niece is naturally Shu Fei's clan niece. The trouble that Qingsong Bookstore is having today is most likely caused by Concubine Shu.
"Deputy Commander Han came here with great momentum today. Isn't it really about order and stability?"
He Qingxiao had no way of knowing why Concubine Shu was angry, but his guess was very close to Xin You's: "Han Dongming would not cause trouble for Qingsong Bookstore for no reason. Considering his relationship with Guchang Bo Mansion, maybe it was because of the previous The rumors about "Painted Skin" made the lady in the palace unhappy."
"Master He, are you talking about Concubine Shu?" Xin You couldn't help but feel appreciation in her eyes.
Unlike her who can see some scenes, Jin Linwei has no control over the harem, which shows Master He's keenness.
Her eyes made the chattering young man's face heat up slightly: "I'm just guessing, it's good that Miss Kou has an idea."
"What about the person who died at the gate of the Imperial College? Could it be related to that empress?" Xin You said that he had stopped talking and asked no questions, so he quickly asked about the murder case that the whole capital was paying attention to.
He Qingxiao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It shouldn't matter much. There has been some progress in this case, and I believe the truth will come to light."
"This murder has involved Qingsong Bookstore in the whirlpool. If Mr. He learns anything later, please let me know if it is convenient."
"Okay." He Qingxiao agreed immediately.
When he went to Fengwei Building, He Qingxiao silently glanced at the old shopkeeper who was following Xin You and felt funny about his previous hesitation.
Shopkeeper Hu was respectful on the outside, but a little worried in his heart.
Is it true that the boss wants to be with Mr. He, as that boy Liu Zhou said?
If this woman gets married, she will have a baby, she will have to raise the baby, she will have another baby in a few years, and she will have to raise the baby again...
What about the bookstore? Their bookstore cannot do without its owner!
No, he will keep a close eye on him today, and look for opportunities to persuade his employer later. You're still young, don't be in a hurry!
Therefore, Mr. He didn't say a few words to Xin You during the entire dinner. Every time he started talking, he was toasted by the old shopkeeper.
Thinking that there was still business to do in the afternoon, He Qingxiao had no choice but to talk less and eat more food.
Seeing He Qingxiao immersed in eating, Xin You felt sympathy in her eyes.
It seems that Mr. He is really poor...
"Waiter, please bring two cages of crab roe buns."
He Qingxiao stopped holding the chopsticks.
This meal took a little longer than expected.
Shopkeeper Hu's hand holding the wine glass paused.
Why add vegetables?
Different from the weird atmosphere in the elegant room, in Yaxin Bookstore, shopkeeper Gu was sitting on a chair with his eyes slightly squinting and humming a tune.
Although I was a little regretful that I didn’t see the bustle of the "Painted Skin" book board being smashed, I was still in a good mood.
So what if the book board is saved? It’s not like there’s no business left.
Yaxin Bookstore? Although Yaxin Bookstore has no business, as long as its opponent fails, there will always be a chance for things to get better in the future.
Shopkeeper Gu was thinking happily when he suddenly heard the waiter's trembling voice: "Shopkeeper--"
"What?" Shopkeeper Gu raised his eyelids and couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the two young men appearing in front of him, and then saw the waistband held up by one of them.
The three words "Jinlinwei" made his pupils tremble and he stood up suddenly.
